I sit down with the boys from LEAVE to discuss the history and origins of metalcore in the 90's with bands like Converge, Zao, Integrity, Earth Crisis, Coalesce, Poison The Well, etc. We also debate who the metalcore "Big Four" should be and share the NEW artists in the game we think are bringing a fresh vitality such as Code Orange and Loathe. 

LEAVE's new album 'Dead Language' drops this Friday (8/6) and can be found here: https://leave914.bandcamp.com/album/dead-language
